Environment and Sustainability Summer School

“Environment and Sustainability Summer School” will be held on 4-9 September 2022 in Bodrum. The Summer School not only aims to contribute to studies on the environment, climate change, and sustainability in a theoretical manner but also provides young people with practical training through local field studies. Thus, the Summer School, bringing together local initiatives, non-governmental organizations, and youth aspires to emphasize the importance of individual contribution to environmental and sustainability endeavors and prioritizes the acquisition of social habits and specific methods for a sustainable lifestyle by young people.During the 5-day Summer School, young people will have the opportunity to receive practical training in many areas including sustainable agricultural practices, combating forest fires, marine ecosystem protection programs to the role of civil society in environmental and sustainability issues. At the same time, they will get the chance to develop many social and camp craft skills by staying at the campground within the framework of this training. The participants will have completed this social and educational Summer School having gained awareness of environmental security, participated in good agricultural practices, learned the roles and scope of non-governmental organizations in environmental problems, and even applied them.

This year, Environment and Sustainability Summer School will be held with the participation of TOBB Economy and Technology University and TED University students.
